Jerusalem (JTA) — An Israeli
court has charged an Israeli Jew
with spying for Iran.
The Jerusalem District Court
charged Herzl Rad, 31, with spy-
ing for an enemy country, endan-
gering national security and
having contact with foreign
agents.
Mr. Rad, a clothing merchant
in Jerusalem, was arrested two
months ago and has been in de-
tention since then, according to lo-
cal reports.
But publication of the arrest
was censored until recently when
the Shin Bet, Israel's domestic se-
curity agency, dropped its oppo-
sition to release of the story.
News that an Israeli citizen had
been charged with spying for an
Islamic country first appeared in
the London-based Arabic paper
Al-Wasat.
Security officials in Israel de-
nied the paper's report that Mr.
Rad had been kidnapped by
Mossad officials in Istanbul and
flown back to Israel to face
charges.
According to Israeli media re-
ports, Mr. Rad was arrested in Is-
rael two months ago.
The reports also said Mr. Rad,
who was born in Iran, contacted
the Iranian Consulate in Istanbul
one year ago after going into debt,
offering information in exchange
for money.
After being questioned by Iran-
ian officials in Istanbul in April,
he- was reportedly flown to
Tehran, where he was subse-
quently recruited.
Mr. Rad's mission was to enter
Israel Defense Force bases and
obtain information, Israel Televi-
sion reported. In return, he would
receive $10,000 that was to be de-
posited into a German bank ac-
count.
Mr. Rad, who has denied all
charges against him, maintained
that he hadbeen. tortured by the
Iranians and forced into being a
spy. "He was kidnapped by Iran-
ian officials," Mr. Rad's lawyer told
Israel Television. "He came to Is-
rael security services to tell them K
of the torture he had undergone,
and instead they arrested him
with these trumped-up charges."
Monitoring Arafat
Raises Questions
Washington (JTA) — The chair-
man and top paid professional ofi \
the Jewish community's prima-
ry umbrella group are at odds
over a proposal to monitor anti-
Israel speeches by Palestine Lib-
eration Organization leader
Yassir Arafat and other Pales-
tinian officials.
With a videotape of Mr. Arafat
calling for a "jihad via deaths, via
battles" circulating among Jew- (,)
ish groups, Leon Levy, chairman -\
of the Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish Organi-
zations, has proposed forming a
new committee to "report and
monitor" such speeches.
But Malcolm Hoenlein, the
conference's executive vice chair-
man, said, "There is no need for
a committee."
Mr. Hoenlein prefers that the ()
entire conference take up the
matter. The latest question of
PLO compliance with the accords
it signed with Israel comes as
Jewish groups opposed to Amer-
ican aid to the Palestinian Au-
thority are disseminating
excerpts of a June 19 speech by
Mr. Arafat at Gaza's Al-Azar Uni-
versity.
`The commitment still stands„/
and the oath is still valid: that we
will continue this long jihad, this
difficult jihad, this blossoming ji-
had, via deaths, via battles, but
this is the way of victory, the first
way, not only for the Palestinian
nation, but also for our Arab and
Islamic nation," said Mr. Arafat,
according to a videotape and tran-
script of the speech circulated by
the Zionist Organization of Amer-
ica.
The question of whether to con-
vene a special committee to mon-
itor such speeches came during a
telephone meeting of Conference
of Presidents member agencies.
Mr. Levy said he mentioned the
idea "offthe cuff' at the beginning
of a call that included a peace
process briefing by Israel's am-
bassador to the United States, Ita-
mar Rabinovich. The conference
asked Mr. Rabinovich for addi-
tional information on the Arafat
speech.
Another conference call was
planned to discuss the matter fur-
ther. ZOA President Morton
Klein said he wants to use the
committee as a platform to prove
his charge that Arafat is not com-
plying with the accords he signed
with Israel.
